TEST DRIVE

Maybe you've been here for a while, or maybe you just got here. Either way, you're all in the same situation - you've been turned into a magical gemstone and stranded in a foreign world! And all you've been left with is the clothes on your back, stripped of all powers except one.

Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

How this works:

☆ This is a test drive for [community profile] cosmographia, which means you should get a little familiar with the setting and premise.

☆ Otherwise, this is just meant to help you feel out how you may play and serves mainly as a chill interest gathering and get together kind of post! No app necessary, and you don't need to play in this post to apply - or vice versa.

☆ Everybody is welcome! There are no character limitations; pg au oc canon pigeon whatever. Just toss up a topcomment and/or jump any threads that pique your interest.

☆ Rules-wise: Be cool to yourself and others, and keep in mind the other game rules too.

☆ If you do apply to the game and are accepted, and you want to keep the CR, you may so long as what you did isn't setting breaking and everyone involved agrees.


YOUR OPTIONS:

☆ You find yourself in the Heart of a ruined temple. There is a large glowing gem that thrums with some kind of rhythm, and jewels scattered all over the room, kept in strange bubbles. At the very least, touching the large gem will give you a standard info-dump, but some of you might be a little cautious about touching weird luminescent gems. Good thing that there are other people there too!

☆ Or perhaps you already know everything there is to know, and are there in the Heart of the Ruined Temple to greet new arrivals. Or perhaps you simply had business there already, like storing away a corrupted gem from a monster, when someone new seemingly dropped in from no where.

☆ It's Farmer's Market day in the plaza of Waverly Bay! Perhaps you're there perusing the goods and strike up conversation, or accidentally bump into someone and get to know them that way. It's a fairly standard day.

☆ There's an event! You don't really know what else to call them - missions, perhaps? But something in the temple was triggered, and the glowy Heart gem has something new to "tell" you: If you want a new power, you should try telling other people two truths and a lie. Those who you interact with must try and divine the lie from your statements.

You have no idea how something this simple will get you a power, but hey.
strengthinkindness: (You look really busy)

Mm...w-well, there is plenty of new things here...

I-If you'd like, I could...show you around the temple a bit...
vagabondhero: (Woo hoo!)

[personal profile] vagabondhero 2015-06-06 09:05 am (UTC)(link)
That'd be great! Lead the way Fluttershy!

[Oh man, he is ALL about this right now!! Adventure, adventure, adventure!]
strengthinkindness: (That's what we're here for)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-06-06 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
[With a soft giggle, Fluttershy takes Zac on a tour of the temple.]

T-To be honest, I haven't been through...all of the temple myself...i-it's so big, I'm not sure anyone's really explored it fully yet...
vagabondhero: (Please tell me more)

[personal profile] vagabondhero 2015-06-06 09:15 am (UTC)(link)
An unexplored temple...

[Can you see the stars in his eyes right now? They're practically twinkling.]

This place is gonna be amazing!
strengthinkindness: (Shy smile)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-06-06 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Glancing up at him, she smiles a bit. It was always nice to see people willing to give places like this a chance.

She led him to the corridor where the living quarters were.]


Th-These are the rooms where most of us stay...Y-You should have a room too, that only opens to your gem...

[He gave a long, sharp whistle at the sound of that. He was so used to sleeping on the road that "Room that is yours" sounded like he'd just been given a key to the city.]

My own room? Like...with a bed? And running water??
strengthinkindness: (And very caring)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-06-06 09:26 am (UTC)(link)
[She nodded.] Mm...a-and it's...magic...s-so you're able to imagine almost anything, and it will appear...
vagabondhero: (Default)

[personal profile] vagabondhero 2015-06-06 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yeesh, never heard of a room like that before, but I'll take it.

[He was never one to turn down a gift, and this just sounded awesome.]

Magic like that back home was pretty advanced stuff...I'll bet my brother would love it here.

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-06-06 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...? You have a brother...?
vagabondhero: (Laughing)

[personal profile] vagabondhero 2015-06-06 09:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! Nate's a bit grumpy most of the time, but he's wicked smart and if it has to do with magic, he's usually right on top of it.

[Suffice it to say, his brother was probably one of the smartest people he knew.]
strengthinkindness: (That's very nice)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-06-06 09:39 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...he sounds very nice...

[Also sounds like he'd get along well with someone she knew.]
vagabondhero: (Ahh shucks)

[personal profile] vagabondhero 2015-06-08 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Nice...depends on how well you know him. He likes to keep to his books.

[Considering the reason for his grumpiness...it wasn't all too unreasonable, so Zac couldn't really fault him.]

He's great though...couldn't have asked for a better little brother honestly.
strengthinkindness: (Laughing 02)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-06-08 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
[She couldn't help giggling a little.] Some people are like that, I guess...

[True, Twilight kept to her books for an entirely different reason, but still.]
vagabondhero: (Happy go lucky)

[personal profile] vagabondhero 2015-06-08 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, it's all for a good cause though. He's the youngest person in history to achieve the rank of Arch Magi, straight out of the Grand Meridian Mages Academy too!

[Oh man he is the proudest older brother right now, he is just beaming.]
strengthinkindness: (Oh look over there)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-06-08 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh wow...! That's amazing...! She he has a lot of magical talent, huh...?
vagabondhero: (Woo hoo!)

[personal profile] vagabondhero 2015-06-08 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Well yeah! See...when someone is born in my world, they're born under the sign of a god or goddess which grants their favor to that person. Sometimes though, certain people get no favor, or in my brother's case, all of it! So while I can only use fire, he can use any type of magic like it was nothing!
strengthinkindness: (You were prepared to do your best)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-06-08 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh goodness...! That must be quite something...

[It was like Twilight's cutie mark being magic.]
vagabondhero: (Default)

[personal profile] vagabondhero 2015-06-08 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Well...it was bad in the beginning. The human body isn't meant to handle that much magic, so he had to wear a bracelet to repress the magic for a while. He can manage without it now though, so that was a relief for me and Mom.
strengthinkindness: (But you find your strength anyway)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-06-08 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[She nodded.] Mm...having that much magical energy can be difficult, I guess...

It's good he can handle it now though...
vagabondhero: (Ahh shucks)

[personal profile] vagabondhero 2015-06-08 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah he can! If you need magic done, he's the guy for the job! That or anything history related...he's practically a walking encyclopedia.
strengthinkindness: (Giggling)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-06-08 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Another giggle. He really did remind her of Twilight.]

He sounds like he'd be very helpful...
vagabondhero: (Laughing)

[personal profile] vagabondhero 2015-06-08 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe he'll show up one day? I wouldn't put it past him to find a way...

[He'd done other seemingly impossible things with magic...coming after him just seemed inevitable.]
strengthinkindness: (Well you see...)

[personal profile] strengthinkindness 2015-06-08 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Mm...there is a chance that he could...
